we may be on the verge of a revolution in the cosmic world view just 2 months after the new James web telescope went into operation it was clear that something was wrong with previous models of the big bang and the formation of stars galaxies and planets James Webb delivered images of dozens of galaxies that according to the old ideas should not exist at all scientists have since overcome the initial shock and now astronomers and cosmologists worldwide are looking for new answers we show you today what has put the researchers in such turmoil and where the errors of the past theories lie first though we'd like to thank you for your input we want to know what you think and what opinions you have on the subject therefore please write us a comment that is interesting and also offers real added value for other viewers if you are one of our subscribers we'll thank you for your commitment with a heart we'll also pin your important post to the top where everyone will read it first just make sure you already have a subscription like the video and mention both at the top of your comment that one shot that changed everything in 1995 astronomers thought their colleague Robert Williams was completely crazy when he decided to point the Hubble Space Telescope at a nearly empty spot in space Williams counted the Fur by saying that he knew exactly what he was doing and if nothing groundbreaking came out of this action he was prepared to do nothing less than quit his job as director of the Space Telescope Science Institute these were strong words but Williams knew exactly what he was doing in the end he could decide all by himself what to do with the telescope a lotted observing time for 100 hours Hubble was pointed at what seemed to be one of the most scientifically boring spots in the universe boring because there was actually virtually nothing to see in this quadrant of the cosmos but that was about to change Williams had no intention of wasting precious Hubble observing time he had a vague idea of what could become visible there his consideration was namely that in an apparently empty spot in the cosmos after sufficiently long exposure time old light radiation should become visible from the background Hubble was actually able to capture luminous objects in the background due to the lack of light sources in the foreground the plan worked and after a few days Williams NASA and Hubble project officials presented an image unlike anything the world had ever seen before the image became known as the Hubble Deep Field you can see some younger and nearby stars in white or bluish light but what is really interesting are the blurry patches of light on the image these show nothing but ancient galaxies spiral galaxies dis galaxies and entire clusters of galaxies for the first time researchers have been able to study light emissions from very distant and very old galaxies the light appears on the image like a featureless speck fuzzy indistinct and perhaps not very interesting unless you know what it is but each of these little specs shows galaxies that existed millions and billions of years ago each of these specs of light emanates from billions of stars that were Within These galaxies thanks to advanced imaging technology and light filtering methods researchers can glean details about galaxies from the light emissions including their size mass and luminosity using red light shifts astronomers and cosmologists can determine the distance age and direction of motion of galaxies the farther away an object is and the farther it moves from our point of view the redder and dimmer the light appears James web Deep Field when the new James web telescope was launched one of the very first images was a brand new Deep Field image the new technique immediately generated excitement the oldest galaxies in this image are also blurry specs of light but the difference in the sharpness and depth of the image is immediately noticeable even to a Layman already few hours after the publication of the picture The Sensational message came a young researcher had noticed a Galaxy which was with an age of approximately 12.9 billion years damn close to the last large bang which is to have occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago this result already provided for a shock wave among scientists for comparison the oldest galaxies which could be determined on the Hubble Deep Field brought it to an age of approximately 12 billion years so far the world was still in order because the age of galaxies was compatible with the theory of the Big Bang the discovery of the oldest web galaxies continued shortly after the first image was published even galaxies appeared that existed 200 million years after the big bang but not only the fact that so shortly after the big bang already fixed and ready galaxies existed astonished the researchers the galaxy show besides an unusually large star mass and brightness leaving astronomers standing before a mystery have they been mistaken in their models for almost a century and how could could the new observations still somehow fit to The Big Bang Theory the end of the beginning or a cosmological new beginning to understand the problem we need to take a little trip back in time to the moment when the universe is supposed to have come into being from a tiny beginning Singularity the whole creation arose in a bang already within the first second after the big bang all four known basic forces had separated according to previous standard models the universe was an incredibly hot and dense soup of particles in the next 3 minutes the cosmos cooled significantly and the first nuclei of helium and other very light elements were formed nevertheless it was still far too hot to form stable atoms capable of bonding a whole 400,000 years were to pass from this moment until the universe was cold enough to allow the first molecules to form the first stars were formed according to these calculations about 150 million years ago these first Stars should have been very large and hot prototypes which had only a very short lifespan these so-called population three stars consisted mainly of hydrogen and helium but not of heavier elements like today's Stars they formed the first Proto galaxies or clusters of gas that clung to huge structures of invisible dark matter only much later thanks to increasing Gravity the Proto galaxies should have merged into large but initially rather shapeless galaxies so far researchers assumed that these developments began only 1 billion years after the big bang you can already see that the observations of web question this whole model because ready shapely and heavy galaxies did not exist only 1 billion years after the the Big Bang but already after 200 million years admittedly these number dimensions are enormous and our brain tends to evaluate everything at some point only as unbelievably big 1 billion or 200 million may not sound so dramatic at first nevertheless you must be aware that we are talking here about a period of 800 million years in which the computational developments of the cosmos do not fit together with the observations of James web now researchers don't just think up models like the big bang but theories like this are based on common mathematical physical and chemical laws and something is obviously wrong here at present researchers assume that the source of the error could lie in the influence of dark matter and dark energy unfortunately we know very little about both forces so far now it has been frequently heard and read in recent months that James web has swept the Big Bang Theory off the table but this is not so even the discovery of dozens of galaxies that do not fit the old cosmological model does not mean that the Big Bang Theory is wrong perhaps the most compelling evidence for the theory is the cosmic microwave background in 1948 the Assumption of this residual radiation from The Big Bang formed the basis for the cosmological worldview of the birth of the Universe from an initial Point since then the universe drifts demonstrably and observably apart in 1965 the existence of the microwave background could be proved and it forms an observable and measurable quantity in the universe since then web's observations primarily mean that our models of star formation and Galaxy Evolution need to be revised the cosmos web program progam envisions further observations of larger areas of the sky for hundreds of hours only then can astronomers gained further impressions of very old galaxies even from other angles when astronomers computers have been fed data from thousands of ancient galaxies we are likely to get our first reliable new insights until then we may give free reign to our own speculations or even imagination and think about the new cosmological world view you tell us now where you stand on these Innovations in cosmology and with the Big Bang Theory in general we'd love to hear your personal ideas or even your expertise on the subject we'll see you next time at Cosmos prodigy h
